Fique Fiber Tensile Elastic Modulus Dependence with Diameter Using the Weibull Statistical Analysis
Maria Carolina Andrade Teles,Giulio Rodrigues Altoé,Pedro Amoy Netto,Henry A. Colorado,Frederico Muylaert Margem,Sergio Neves Monteiro +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the tensile elastic modulus dependence of the fique fiber as a function of its diameter was evaluated by means of the Weibull statistical analysis, and it was found that an inverse correlation adjusted the elastic modulation with the equivalent diameter through a hyperbolic type of mathematical relationship.

Kazuaki Ninomiya,Megumi Abe,Takayuki Tsukegi,Kosuke Kuroda,Masaaki Omichi,Kenji Takada,Mana Noguchi,Yota Tsuge,Chiaki Ogino,Kentaro Taki,Tetsuya Taima,Kiyoshi Uzawa,Kenji Takahashi +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a choline acetate-assisted pretreatment of bagasse powder could improve properties of chemically modified bagasse/polypropylene composites, and the composites had fewer voids derived from vascular bundles of the bagasse tissue compared with the case when using untreated bagasse powders.

Mode I fracture toughness of bio-fiber and bio-shell particle reinforced epoxy bio-composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of bio-fibres and bioparticles on fracture toughness has been investigated in a servo hydraulic universal testing machine and the results show that the fracture toughness of hybrid bio-composites reinforced with 20 wt% bagasse or 10µwt% coconut fiber are 1.108 MPa √m and 1.094µMPa√m, respectively, about 8% and 7% higher than neat epoxy.

Composites reinforced with cellulose based fibres
TL;DR: In this article, a survey about physical and chemical treatment methods which improve the fiber matrix adhesion, their results and effects on the physical properties of composites is presented, and the influence of such treatments by taking into account fibre content on the creep, quasi-static, cyclic dynamic and impact behaviour of natural fibre reinforced plastics are discussed in detail.
